In addition to her three wins, she’s completed two games and combined for three shutouts on the season.

Through Wednesday night’s game with McNeese State where she threw the fifth no-hitter of her career, Canion is 23-9 with a Big 12-leading 1.37 ERA. The lefthander, among other statistical categories, is Baylor’s all-time leader in wins, strikeouts, innings pitched, shutouts and complete games. She also ranks third on the Big 12’s career list for win with 115.
